Weathering resistance of clear SUNTUF Plus 0.8 sheet

SUNTUF Plus UV resistanceSUNTUF Plus maintains its high optical properties over time. A protective layer prevents UV related degradation of the material and makes SUNTUF Plus an ideal greenhouse cover.

Flat SheetLow Sun Angle

Low Light Transmission

Hemispheric light transmittanceAt N45º-N55º latitude, during the 5 critical months between November and March, the sun shines most of the day at a 15º-25º angle with the horizon. SUNTUF Plus refracts light at low angles of incidence, reduces reflection, and facilitates more light penetration into the greenhouse than any other material.

High Light Transmission

Special features

Built-In Condensation ControlSUNTUF Plus with its unique condensation control increases light transmission by 30% at peak condensation periods.

Extremely high impact resistance and load bearingSUNTUF Plus withstands hail and flying debris better than any other greenhouse covering. Its flexibility and tensile strength make it suitable for the harshest climates.

Resistance to UV RadiationSUNTUF Plus withstands the detrimental effects of UV radiation for many years.

Efficient InsulationEven at its standard 0.8mm thickness, the thermal insulation of SUNTUF Plus is greater than that of 4mm glass or any greenhouse film product.

Reduces energy loss SUNTUF Plus reduces far IR radiation escape, trapping it inside the greenhouse reducing heat energy loss.

Overlap accessoriesSUNTUF Plus is equipped with suitable over-lap accessories to hermetically seal against dust accumulation, insects or water.
